Another CCW Saves the day..

2 Thugs try to rob a store, a ARMED citizen saves the day.

1 suspect killed, 2nd on run after store robbery
Customer shoots, kills suspect

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. -
When two men tried to hold up a Dollar General store on the Northside on Monday night, a customer pulled his gun and shot one of the men twice.

The second robber ran from the store and was seen leaving the scene in a SUV.

The shooting happened just before 10 p.m. at the store in the 1900 block of Dunn Avenue.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said when police arrived, one of the robbers was dead.

Police said the robber was shot by a man who had a concealed weapons permit who was alerted to the robbery by the store manager.

The second robber was seen wearing a blue bandana and sped east on Dunn Avenue in a small SUV.

Police are still investigating and searching for the second robber.

He was robbing a store, putting other people's lives at risk... he got the logical consequence of his actions. I have no objections to that. I'm pro-gun, pro-CCW.

But man... he looks like a kid! I'm bummed that he went down that road. It makes you wonder if his course could have been changed, if sometime in his past somebody could have gotten through to him and made a difference. We'll never know. It sounds like he was just a stupid kid playing a dangerous game, thinking life was a game, and not realizing or caring how serious the consequences of his actions were... for him and everybody else around him.

He should have been going to college, or working as an apprentice to a master craftsman, or even sweeping a floor. Anything else but this. It's his own fault, but it's still a damn shame. A young life thrown away for nothing. Several lives changed forever; the hero, the manager, the family, the bystanders. None will be the same. His mom has to bury her son. Maybe it was all her fault. Or maybe she did the best she could and just couldn't get through to him, hoped he'd grow out of it. Not now.

I'm glad he was taken out before he hurt somebody, but I'm not going to laugh about a kid that died today. For his family, today feels like the end of the world.

I should probably put on a flame suit now...

All you need to know right there. I'm frankly surprised someone hadn't planted him sooner.

I'm sure Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton will be up in arms (pun intended) in no time.

I saw a comment on another site saying that they need to get the CCW holder over to NYC to train the police on how to take down a criminal....

Isn't the shooter liable for something in this case? It was not his store. The robber's gun was not necessarily pointed at him. I am not against what happened. Just wondering the implications for the shooter. Good thing he was not in New Joeysey

The question is: Was the shooter threatened? Did the robbers have guns? Was the shooter threatened? If not it is just a case of instant execution without a legal judicial process. Just like in the Middle East. Is that what we want the country to be.: A lawless society ruled by guns, like in Hollywood Westerns?

I would be OK with that Wolf....thin out the herd a bit.

There's too damn many people on the planet anyway....getting a bit crowded.

The gene pool is getting compromised....be good to eliminate some of the stupidity....
